I have been waiting for my eye-drop medicine for the last three months, as the local chemist keeps telling me that it is out of stock. I have been trying to obtain it from other chemists without success.

The Prime Minister has been assuring us that there is no medicine out of stock.

So today, I visited my local chemist and asked for the medicine. No luck.

I asked her if she had checked with the hospital. She told me that it has nothing to do with the hospital, as they get their medicine from an agent.

So I guess that this is the reason for the medicine being out of stock. By getting us to enrol with the local chemist of our choice, the government has washed its hands of the matter.

Now we depend on the agent to deliver the medicine to the chemist. That is, if the chemist can be bothered to ask the agent for the medicine we need.

In 2009, I underwent an operation after a heart attack. I got the glycoma while still in hospital. This year, not long ago, I was released from prison.

When I had entered prison, I took with me two medical records: one from England and the other from Mater Dei.

When I was released from prison, the medical records were not returned to me.

So I wrote to the Justice Minister to get them back.

No luck.

Then I wrote to the Prime Minister, since he keeps saying that he has a government that listens. His secretary informed me that the Prime Minister was going to follow it up. That was last May.

Up to now there has not been any action to have my medical records returned.

To me, it seems that people in general are taken for fools.
